Well, I'll be!

It does seem to be the only instance.  (And it was part of a mass
rename, so one may wonder whether or not it's still a consensus.)

FWIW, other examples include renaming this to this_something
(client/tilespec.c), new to newsomething (client/climisc.c) and *try to
*ptry (server/civserver.c).

Obviously, the best policy is to avoid such names in the first place.
See <http://david.tribble.com/text/cdiffs.htm#C99-cpp-keyword> to
refresh your memory, if need be.
